Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I am trying to build an App to let other people (even non-Dropbox users) easily download files from a specific folder in my Dropbox. The App only needs to have read-only access to such folder.
Based on the examples, I built a very simple command-line download app. The app works just fine but I don't want to distribute it as it is, as my access token is hard-coded in it, and although its permission type is "App folder" and therefore its access should be limited to that folder it would be read-write access.
Could anybody please help me find a way build this App without sharing my access token and/or my secret key?
Thanks a lot! Modifying the links for direct access solves my problem. Files can be downloaded very easily using FileUtils.copyURLToFile (no need for Dropbox's API).
